Issues is the word I used. The pulling out of NATO thing is extr problematic for me-- very much to Russia's benefit

I'm not in favor of inducing another Kuwait type situation with Putin in the Baltics.

Remarkable use of the word "inducing" there.

Saying we won't do anything if somebody does something they clearly want to do is inducing, sure.

1) A review of recent history might raise questions abt meaning of "induce" 2) do you have specific quote in mind?

So there's no quote there saying he won't do anything. And you're ignoring NATO as expansionary project

I can't say I really have a problem with that. I don't see Russia as the good guys in any sense.

I guess I need to ask what's your problem w/NATO as an expansionary project, then?
